7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Costa Mesa

“Hands down BEST Pit Builders in California! I spent 5 years researching and slowly deciding who and when to get my pit and after a lengthy process I’m more then thrilled to have my 120 Gallon Harper Pit! It’s a no brainer they are often imitated but never duplicated with their ingenuity and craftsmanship is second to none.“

“We came here for our anniversary. Christian was our waiter. He was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed the whole time we were there. This was or first time here and here and all the staff made us feel very welcomed.“

“My family loves this place. I came here for the umpteenth time tonight with my 85 year old Japanese mom. We had the Manpuku Traditional Omakase and we had leftovers to take home, there was so much food. All the meat (chicken shrimp and beef) all 5/5 star quality. We were there at 5 pm on a Monday and it was very busy. Service was still super fast. Super pleasant evening.“

“Great dinner and our server was super friendly“

“We had such a wonderful dinner at Anjin. Everything we ordered was delicious, but my favorites were definitely the Kainomi, the Anjin Seaweed Salad, and the orange sherbet at the end.

The Kainomi was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the seaweed salad was fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. The orange sherbet was also such a refreshing way to finish the meal.

I honestly wanted to try so many more dishes, but since there were only two of us, we could only order so much. Next time, I would love to come with a bigger group so we can try more of the menu.

We came to celebrate a very special birthday, and it made the evening even more memorable. We both left very happy and completely satisfied. Thank you for such a lovely experience!“

“4 taco plates is on point !!! the tacos are small. but i always feel like they should always be mighty anywhere. today coming to Hole Smokes BBQ got their mexican option and found that to be a great choice. the asada tacos need more meat to be added thats all. the carnitas tacos is absolutely amazing. the brisket taco same thing. i literally cant wait to come back. the rice and refried beans that come with them was amazing as well full of flavor. a very nice touch was getting a spicy yellow pepper that was grilled because I disnt expect that and it went well. the tortilla chips as i think i got alot and thats always welcomed i feel the flavor of the chips werent fitting they took the flavor another direction. the salsa were not good. the red one was salty and bland. the green one was interesting but really didnt wowed me. if they improve their salsas i feel the tacos would get the love they deserve because the tacos hands down are worth coming back for amazing!!! this is a great great great place to eat at. and i havent tried their BBQ yet so that sounds exciting.“
